Scissors Seminar 30.10.07

This is a summary of my seminar for your reference. Now its over to you.......


3d Three dimensions onto a 2d surface presents different challenges for each different morphology


Abstraction Necessary to be reductive but not too reductive


Tonality The effects of light can be mapped onto the surface and reveal cavities internally


Mapping Surfaces Map intricacies, patterns, surface erosions, depths, edges


Multiple Sections Reveal specific moments between outside and inside, dissections of the whole


Cutaway Section Strategic removal to make visible what is otherwise not


Familiarity Plot familiar with unfamiliar and tighten the frame of reference


Duality Overall qualities can be revealed- both internal and external simultaneously


Conceal/ reveal Give a comprehensive, comparitive study


Exploded Exloded drawings are assemblages in their own right


Exploration Reinvent drawing disciplines


Techniques Develop special techniques to show sectional properties, layers, patterns


Zoom Scales Use a variety of scales for comparision


Differentiation Differentiation of tonality within primary pattern to reveal complexities


Black & White Extreme contrast to depict patterns of thickness, thinness


Structure A secondary reading reveals and abstracts these findings


Depth Introduce colour to reveal levels in relation to an implied datum


Contrast Contrast must be maintained to avoid ambiguity


Accuracy Accuracy in reading and plotting of data will reveal new patterns beyond your expectations
